I didn't know I needed this message. Thank you.

A lot of people think vulnerability is weakness, vulnerability is being willing to express the truth no matter what. Being vulnerable is a risk we have to take if we want to experience connection. A vulnerable man/ woman is open to getting hurt but also open to love.

Nothing can come into your life People of God that he would not go through with you. Humble self and walk through it with the Lord. Especially in our days.

I haven't listened fully yet.. In my life I have been friendly, but the other people just didn't seem to want to get to know me.. it has made me struggle to reach out cuz I feel like I'm pushing myself on someone that didn't want to be friends..I've tried in every church I've been in over the past 40 yrs..

You know, I am graduating from university in 2 months. I moved to the US 8 years ago, and the last 6-7 years I spent with deep depression. About a year ago I met a friend that I was praying for. I was very happy with him. But, just like Levi said, I guess I was "too thirsty for friendship", and we ended up separating because I was too obnoxious, I guess. I still miss him very much, and think about him very often, imagining how my life would go if we were together, but at the same time, I am hiding my eye contact whenever I see him on campus. Not because I hate him, but because his appearance reminds me of my guilt and what kind of a bad friend I am. It reminds me that I am that idiot who ended the relationship with the person who could be my best friend... As I said, I am graduating. And I think that starting a new life, in a new town, will be the best option for me. Even at my church, I don't feel like I am part of them, but that's because I wasn't open enough with everyone all these years. After watching this video, I see where I was wrong. Even though I knew that it was all my fault that it all happened like that, but now at least I see how I should start my new life more correctly. God bless you, everyone. I know that some of you watched this video because you were typing into a search bar: "How to find new friends". Remember that God never wants you to be alone, He never wants you to suffer from loneliness. He might be doing some work with you! You know, my separation from my best friend destroyed me so much that I felt the need for God so much, that I repented my sins (it was not the first time I did it), and God actually brought me closer to Him. I was even able to read a Bible every day, but before that, I couldn't! I know you who are reading this, I know you are probably suffering because you are alone, because you have nobody to talk with, to joke with, to smile with, and to pray with. God sees your suffering, He sees your hardship in your heart, and I believe that the Holy Spirit makes me write this: the miracle is about to happen in your life. You need to put all of your hope in God. Don't say: "How am I going to live like that?", or "Am I going to die alone?". You (including me, of course...especially me) should say something like this: "God, I am hurt. And I don't know what is waiting for me in my life. I believe and I know that You saw me suffering because of things that happened in my life, and I ask You to give me more strength, more patience, and more trust in You. Please help me to not forget that You love me, that Your Son Jesus loves me, and that You will be always on my side. Please help me get closer to you, please help me seek you. I ask You, please send me true friends into my life, with whom I will be worshiping You, and who will be reminding me every single day, how You love me, and how much You care about me. Amen."

Sadly Christian friendship is a very very rare thing today. The early church had that but you just don’t see it today.

[@junewingsha]

I share your disappointment. Christ came and renewed my faith and hope so that I am willing to risk vulnerability to enjoy authentic fellowship with my Christian friends again. God sees our hurts and He will restore our broken relationships.
